The work and musings of Quilliam Collister watercolour artist and traveller

Rarotonga and recent work

I’ve been working on a series of paintings which are drawn in pen and ink with only the focal point painted. They show European village scenes with an iconic vehicle, the first one was called”The Red Vespa” and the one below “A Corner of Tuscany”.

At the end of July we had ten days in Rarotonga. While our main reason for the holiday was to get out of the cold of a South Island winter I still managed several pen and was paintings which I think show several aspects of the beautiful island.
